Hi Martha, On a similar system (Ubuntu 16.04 and an older version of Arches where I had installed postgres using the ubuntu_setup.sh script) when I ran shp2psql I found it also missing. The message said I should install it with
sudo apt-get install postgis After I ran that command (even though this is a fully functional Arches installation with postgis already installed, though I guess through different means) shp2psql is now available to me. I haven't tested anything further, but that may be the best way. Adam On Mon, Jul 15, 2019 at 2:25 PM Martha S <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > We are running Arches 4.4.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.
